MCG Event

Professor Gill Palmer, Dean Faculty of Business and Economics,
hosted a special event at the Monash University Corporate Box to watch Collingwood vs. Geelong Game at the MCG on Friday, September 21, 2007.

When industry and government attendees were asked if they gained any value from this event, Peter Chaffey, Knowledge Capital Executive, Melbourne City Council, replied,  “Yes, it increased understanding of directions being taken by Monash and the possibility of stronger links to my work for the Melbourne Vice Chancellors Forum and Melbourne’s Knowledge Capital projects.”

Kevin Stevenson, Partner, Global Capital Markets Group, PricewaterhouseCoopers wrote, “I thoroughly enjoyed the evening and am grateful to have been invited. It would be hard to pick a better game in the future and, of course, the company was excellent. Those of us that assist Monash are not looking for reward, but it is still very nice to know the help is not taken for granted.”

A total of 15 people attended the MCG event including the host Professor Gill Palmer, Mark Gabbott, Deputy Dean, Marketing and External Relations, Jayne Godfrey Deputy Dean Research, Kim Langfield-Smith Head of Accounting and Finanace, Robert Brooks, Associate Dean –Research Quality, and 10 additional guests from industry and government.

The event was coordinated by the Business Development Unit, Faculty of Business and Economics, Monash University.
